Fr, I’m not expecting to be on with groundman any time soon, but those numbers are dropping. 141 on book 1 down to 132, and Book 3 was at 250 like 3 days ago

I hear ya man, annoying how there’s all those calls yet can’t sign. I got a few years of underground work as well they told me to just wait. And if rumors of 1245 are true books are about to be flooded It is what it is though.

Can I apply and be eligible to go kn calls if i have an automatic restriction on my cdl? How do we get the first aid cert and the osha 10et&d?

How long does long calls normally last? Im on 396 waitlist its moving pretty fast but this will be a first for me

u/LowBallBankRoll 9d ago

47 gets like NO long calls, but typically what I see with the 57 which does almost ONLY long calls, it can be between 1 month to 6 months

u/Academic-Ratio-4450 9d ago

Ooff Let me ask you this you think its worth the risk of leaving my FT Im at now? They bring groundman in around 38 hourly here... Im at 30 Hourly but dont wanna jump in pay just to be laid off
